Reacting to the situation, Atletico Madrid’s Filipe Luis has slammed the decision to leave Messi out.

He said in a press conference: “(FIFA’s The Best) award is for the best player in the world.”

“In my opinion, Messi is the best player in the world. Today, last year, 2 years ago and 3 years ago.”

“From the moment that Messi does not win the award, with everything he does, it (the award) loses its credibility

“It doesn’t matter who wins the Champions League or if another played the final.”

“In my opinion, Messi is the best in the world and he has been for several years.”

“Neymar will be there one day, Salah deserves to be in the top 3, Cristiano deserves it too. But to demonstrate his level in such a way in every single game he plays, I don’t have any doubt that Messi is the best player in the world.”
